Pure Technologies - Electromagnetic Inspection, AFO Acoustic Monitoring, Leak Detection and Pressure Monitoring Systems

Pure Technologies is a world leader in the delivery of non-destructive, continuous condition assessment and monitoring, dynamic risk and asset management for owners of critical infrastructure such as water and wastewater pipelines. Pure provides owners and managers of water and wastewater pipelines (including Pre Stressed Concrete Cylinder Pipelines (PCCP)) with a suite of proprietary technologies for leak detection, non-destructive condition assessment, asset risk management and advanced data analysis.

Pure's innovative management technologies include:

• P-Wave® electromagnetic inspection
• SoundPrint® and SoundPrint® AFO acoustic technology
• SoundPrint SmartBall™ leak detection technology
• TP-1 transient pressure monitoring system
• PureActiv™ security surveillance
• PureLink™ GIS based management system

P-WAVE® ELECTROMAGNETIC INSPECTION

P-Wave is a patented non-destructive testing technology that utilizes electromagnetic techniques to provide a "snapshot" of the condition of concrete pips used for water and wastewater transmission lines. P-Wave, in combination with SoundPrint Acoustic Monitoring and / or a PureActiv GIS-Based Management System provides a comprehensive management solution for the owners and managers of water and wastewater pipelines.

SOUNDPRINT® and SOUNDPRINT® AFO ACOUSTIC MONITORING

SoundPrint is a patented acoustic monitoring technology used to provide continuous, non-destructive remote health monitoring of water and wastewater pipelines as well as tensioned storage tanks and other structures.

SoundPrint AFO is an acoustic fibre-optic monitoring system for structural monitoring and leak detection in pre stressed concrete water and wastewater pipelines and for leak detection and surveillance of oil and gas pipelines. The use of acoustically sensitive optical fibre and proprietary optical processing techniques allows Pure to monitor considerably long lengths of pipelines from a single access point.

SOUNDPRINT SMARTBALL™ LEAK DETECTION

SoundPrint SmartBall is a new and innovative leak detection technology. It is a free-swimming foam ball with an instrumented aluminum core capable of detecting very small acoustic events in pipelines. SmartBall can be inserted into a pipeline and can travel with the water flow for more than twelve hours, collecting information about leaks over many miles of pipeline with a single deployment.

TP-1 TRANSIENT PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM

The TP-1 technology is licensed from Pipetech Systems in the United States. It is combined with Pure's extensive software capabilities to provide pipeline operators detailed information about transient pressures within a pipeline. The system includes a processor, operating software, pressure sensor, communication devices, power source and analytical software.

PUREACTIV™ AUTOMATED OUTDOOR SECURITY SURVEILLANCE

An automated outdoor surveillance solution, PureActiv is designed to detect critical security threats to people, facilities and other high-value assets. Although similar in some ways to traditional Digital Video Recorders (DVRs), the PureActiv solution supplies reliable and accurate real-time alarms and video material of suspicious outdoor activities while minimizing false or nuisance alarms.

The PureActiv solution features:

• Innovative geographic map presentation
• Advanced object detection and tracking
• Fence intrusion detection
• Automated camera steering
• Scalable video distribution
• Automated security policy response capability

PURELINK™ GIS BASED MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

PureLink is an interactive, GIS based dynamic interface that allows owners and engineers to access information related to their pipeline on a real time basis. Through the SoundPrint website clients can access acoustic, electromagnetic, pressure transient and other critical data from their pipelines and other structures directly.
